- Item{N,N-Bis[bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phosphanyl]methylamine- κ2 P,P′}bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl) titanium(II)(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2013) Haehnel, M.; Hansen, S.; Spannenberg, A.; Beweries, T.The title compound, [Ti(C5H5)2(C 9H11F12NO4P2)], is a four-membered titanacycle obtained from the reaction of Cp2Ti(η 2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) and CH 3N[P(OCH2CF3)2]2 {N,N-bis[bis(trifluoroethoxy)phosphanyl]methylamine, tfepma}. The Ti II atom is coordinated by two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligands and the chelating tfepma ligand in a strongly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The molecule is located on a mirror plane.
- Item(Cyanido-κC)(2,2-diphenylacetamido-κ2 N,O)bis(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium(IV)(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2014) Becker, L.; Spannenberg, A.; Arndt, P.; Rosenthal, U.In the title compound, [Zr(C10H15)2(C14H12NO)(CN)], the ZrIV atom is coordinated by two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands, the amidate ligand via the N and O atoms, and an additional C N ligand. The four-membered metallacycle is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008Å). In the crystal, the molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via pairs of N - HN hydrogen bonds.
- ItemSelf-propelled micromotors for cleaning polluted water(Washington, DC : ACS, 2013) Soler, L.; Magdanz, V.; Fomin, V.M.; Sanchez, S.; Schmidt, O.G.We describe the use of catalytically self-propelled microjets (dubbed micromotors) for degrading organic pollutants in water via the Fenton oxidation process. The tubular micromotors are composed of rolled-up functional nanomembranes consisting of Fe/Pt bilayers. The micromotors contain double functionality within their architecture, i.e., the inner Pt for the self-propulsion and the outer Fe for the in situ generation of ferrous ions boosting the remediation of contaminated water.The degradation of organic pollutants takes place in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, which acts as a reagent for the Fenton reaction and as main fuel to propel the micromotors. Factors influencing the efficiency of the Fenton oxidation process, including thickness of the Fe layer, pH, and concentration of hydrogen peroxide, are investigated. The ability of these catalytically self-propelled micromotors to improve intermixing in liquids results in the removal of organic pollutants ca. 12 times faster than when the Fenton oxidation process is carried out without catalytically active micromotors. The enhanced reaction-diffusion provided by micromotors has been theoretically modeled. The synergy between the internal and external functionalities of the micromotors, without the need of further functionalization, results into an enhanced degradation of nonbiodegradable and dangerous organic pollutants at small-scale environments and holds considerable promise for the remediation of contaminated water.
- ItemThe use of matrix-specific calibrations for oxygen in analytical glow discharge spectrometry(Dordrecht : Springer, 2014) Gonzalez-Gago, C.; Smid, P.; Hofmann, T.; Venzago, C.; Hoffmann, V.; Gruner, W.The performance of glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for oxygen determination is investigated using a set of new conductive samples containing oxygen in the percent range in three different matrices (Al, Mg, and Cu) prepared by a sintering process. The sputtering rate corrected calibrations obtained at standard conditions for the 4 mm anode (700 V, 20 mA) in GD-OES are matrix independent for Mg and Al but not for Cu. The importance of a "blue shifted" line of oxygen at 130.22 nm (first reported by Köster) for quantitative analyses by GD-OES is confirmed. Matrix-specific calibrations for oxygen in GD-MS are presented. Two source concepts - fast flow (ELEMENT GD) and low gas flow (VG9000) - are evaluated obtaining higher sensitivity with the static flow source. Additional experiments using Ar-He mixtures or μs pulsed GD are carried out in ELEMENT GD aiming to improve the oxygen sensitivity.
- ItemTowards on-site testing of Phytophthora species(Cambridge : RSC Publ., 2014) Schwenkbier, Lydia; Pollok, Sibyll; König, Stephan; Urban, Matthias; Werres, Sabine; Cialla-May, Dana; Weber, Karina; Popp, JürgenRapid detection and accurate identification of plant pathogens in the field is an ongoing challenge. In this study, we report for the first time on the development of a helicase-dependent isothermal amplification (HDA) in combination with on-chip hybridization for the detection of selected Phytophthora species. The HDA approach allows efficient amplification of the yeast GTP-binding protein (Ypt1) target gene region at one constant temperature in a miniaturized heating device. The assay's specificity was determined by on-chip DNA hybridization and subsequent silver nanoparticle deposition. The silver deposits serve as stable endpoint signals that enable the visual as well as the electrical readout. Our promising results point to the direction of a near future on-site application of the combined techniques for a reliable detection of Phytophthora species.
- Item(η6-Benzene)(carbonato-κ2O,O') [dicyclohexyl(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)phosphanejP] ruthenium(II) chloroform trisolvate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2014) Gowrisankar, S.; Neumann, H.; Spannenberg, A.; Beller, M.The title compound, [Ru(CO3)(η6-C 6H6){(C6H11)2P(CH 2-C10H7)}]-3CHCl3, was synthesized by carbonation of [RuCl2-(η6-C6H 6){(C6H11)2P(CH2C 10H7)}] with NaHCO3in methanol at room temperature. The RuIIatom is surrounded by a benzene ligand, a chelating carbonate group and a phosphane ligand in a piano-stool configuration. The crystal packing is consolidated by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent metal complexes and between the complexes and the solvent molecules. The asymmetric unit contains one metal complex and three chloroform solvent molecules of which only one was modelled. The estimated diffraction contributions of the other two strongly disordered chloroform solvent molecules were substracted from the observed diffraction data using the SQUEEZE procedure in PLATON.
- ItemBis(μ2-isopropylimido-κ2 N:N)bis[(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(ethenolato-κO)titanium(IV)](Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2014) Haehnel, M.; Spannenberg, A.; Rosenthal, U.The title dinuclear half-sandwich complex, [CpTi(OCH=CH2) (μ2-N-iPr)]2 (Cp = cyclopentadienyl; iPr = isopropyl), was obtained from the reaction of Cp2TiCl2, n-butyllithium and isopropylamine in tetrahydrofuran. Each TiIV atom is coordinated by one Cp ligand, one vinyloxy unit and two bridging imido groups in a strongly distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are two half molecules in the asymmetric unit, such that whole molecules being generated by inversion symmetry.
- Item(η6-Benzene)dichlorido(chlorodicyclohexylphosphane-κp) ruthenium(II) chloroform monosolvate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2014) Gowrisankar, S.; Neumann, H.; Spannenberg, A.; Beller, M.The title compound, [RuN4(-6-C6H6) (C12H22ClP)]-CHCl3, was prepared by reaction of [RuN 4(-6-C6H6)]2 with chlorodicyclohexyl phosphane in CHCl3 at 323 K under argon. The RuII atom is surrounded by one arene ligand, two Cl atoms and a phosphane ligand in a piano-stool geometry. The phosphane ligand is linked by the P atom, with an Ru-P bond length of 2.3247 (4) Å. Both cyclohexyl rings at the P atom adopt a chair conformation. In the crystal, the RuII complex molecule and the chloroform solvent molecule are linked by a bifurcated C-H⋯(Cl,Cl) hydrogen bond. Intramolecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are also observed.
- ItemCarbonyl{3,3′-di-tert-butyl-5,5′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bis[(4,4, 5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholan-2-yl)oxy]biphenyl-κ2 P,P′}hydrido(triphenylphosphane-κP)rhodium(I) diethyl ether trisolvate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2013) Selent, D.; Spannenberg, A.; Börner, A.In the title compound, [RhH(C74H68O8P2)(C18H15P)(CO)]·3C4H10O, the CHP3 coordination set at the RhI ion is arranged in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with the P atoms adopting equatorial coordination sites and the C atom of the carbonyl ligand as well as the H atom adopting the axial sites. The asymmetric unit contains two very similar molecules of the rhodium complex, two half-occupied diethyl ether molecules and further diethyl ether solvent molecules which could not be modelled successfully. Therefore contributions of the latter were removed from the diffraction data using the SQUEEZE procedure in PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155].
